Hi all, as the title suggests I’m having an “issue” with my cacatuoides trio, my male and one female seem to have paired, they share parental duties and ALWAYS swim with each other.
In all my research before i purchased the trio I read that they were harem breeders and the female would assume parental duties and chase the male away.
They spawn like clock work, once a month which surprised me as they are in a planted community with neons, otos, Siamese algae eaters(real ones) and some sterbai corys(who are going soon).
Now the issue, the paired male and female will actively look for the other female if she isn’t in “her” corner they will chase her and gang up on her until she is back in her corner by the filter intake.
Does anyone have any advice or tips? Thank you in advance.
